A lot of trucks out there can claim beast mode, and we'd say we agree for the most part. The towing, hauling, and overall utility game is pretty hot right now (although the F-150 is still best-in-class--sorry, not sorry). But when it comes to off-road chops and the talent for breaching dunes like a mighty sand whale, the Ford SVT Raptor is where it's at.
Set to arrive in showrooms this autumn, the SVT Raptor takes the lightweight aluminum skin, beastly suspension, and kicks the versatility barometer up to about 9,000. With a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 under the hood with 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of twist in play, it's a virtual mammoth in whatever situation you happen to drive into--on road, or off. Just check out the video above if you have any doubts.
Whether you want to tear up dunes, rip up trails, and generally feast on the defeated tears of competing truck makers, the SVT Raptor is your bet. Contact our Ford dealership to learn more.
